      Verdict

      MINT EDITION went up 5lb for an easy victory at Newcastle last month but it made no difference on a return visit on Friday when he had plenty in hand. He has a 6lb penalty to carry here but looks set for a hat-trick. Gilded Moon, beaten over six lengths in the first of those races, will be 8lb better off and should get closer but Fox Flame showed very little in three starts on Turf in the summer. Sprezzatura hasn't been beaten far in any of his last three starts on Tapeta and can do best of the remainder.
